To be upset about my wedding venue?

[IfIDontKnowAndYouDontKnow]

Name changed
Basically have a tiny budget. We were going to cut our guest list but we don't want to. We love everyone on it.
Have been offered The British Legion as a venue for free. Best man works evenings there.
We have decided to take it so we can afford to give everyone a nice time. Its bloody ugly inside. Has lovely big field though/n pretty outside etc.
I know I chose this, and I am not wanting to save up for few years as I just want to marry dp and have all our friends and family there. And would be stupid to not accept such a generous offer.
Just venting I guess... and wondering what to do about the fading carpet, chipped paint, arcade machine...

Oops dont know what happened there .

Mushroomsoup does the thread run out on 1000 posts then?

Ihope that doesnt mean the thread will be deleted?

The thread won't be deleted. You just can't add past 1000 posts.

Lovely thread, just nominated for classics :)

ToffeeOwnsTheSausage thanks for letting me know. Will add a new thread when the time comes.

LoppyDoopyDoo how lovely of you. That's made my day, thank you .

Do it soon (in Weddings maybe?) and post the link here so you don't lose anybody x

ERMAGOD I just kissed on MN.

::slaps self::

Sorry. As you were.

Kisses Horatia back .

So post it in weddings? Was thinking chat, weddings make sense though. Will do that in a while.

Not Chat - it autodeletes after ninety days. You don't want to lose anything...

Ooh yes, new thread is essential. I need to know

ARRRGH! Only 13 more messages!

Oops sorry. Wrong link & it's not working anyway.

Now I need to find out how long roughly the ceremony takes so I can book a space in the bar area afterwards.

Also need to start working out rough coats of the reception food at the legion. Still like the ploughmans idea though, so at least that bit is decided. Kind of disapointed about losing the tea though.

Posted before I'd finished. Also getting started on invites.
Not sure how to word them.

I actually still cant shake the feeling that I want our friends there too.
Not sure what to do there.

So next on my list is bridesmaid dresses. Am going for a mismatched type look, IYKWIM. Prob soft pinks, knee length. Any ideas.? Obviously budget friendly.

Kind of like these ( the first pic mostly)
